The cars were involved in a collision on Northway near to the junction with Dover Road, close to the Alt Park pub heading towards Switch Island shortly before 5.30pm.

A spokesperson for North West Ambulance Service said one female was taken to Aintree Hospital with ‘major trauma injuries.’

Three people were treated at the roadside for minor injuries.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service crews attended the scene and made the vehicles safe.

All the drivers exchanged details, a spokesperson said, and all vehicles were removed by 7pm.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL TEAM MAY FOLD AFTER SCHOOL BOOTS THEM OFF PITCH Players and officials devastated after shock decision by head teacher Report by Kenny Parker A JUNIOR football club in Lydiate may have to fold after 40 years of serving the community after a school said it could no longer use its playing field.

St Thomas Lydiate Leopards Junior Football Club have been told by St Gregory’s Catholic Primary School that it will not renew a contract allowing it to use the playing fields.

They said it was because there had been complaints from the community about state of footpaths after matches and parking issues.

But the team’s assistant coach Bob Doherty says that a brief letter from headteacher Mrs D Albon, informing the club of the decision came as a shock and they themselves had previously worked to deal with the complaints.

John shows how you can lead a clean lifestyle and still build the perfect body!

Healthy diet and hard work pays off as he makes finals of British BodyPower Expo contest

Carillonneur Trevor Workman and Simon Rennie at last week’s celebrations at Maghull St Andrew’s parish church.

Church bells rededicated with a specially written piece of music

Report by Henry James A MAN from Maghull entered his first physique competition at the BodyPower Expo in the NEC, Birmingham and qualified for the British finals.

John Wood follows a self-taught regime and is strongly against the use of steroids and enhancement drugs.

The 23-year-old, who goes to the gym every day, came fourth out of 35 competitors at the event on Friday, May 11.

He said: “I train every day and I do not touch any drugs, and have a healthy lifestyle.

“I am very against steroids. I think people take steroids because they want something fast, although they are not prepared to put the work in.

“I had to go on stage and pose.

“I was nervous but once I was on the platform I was OK. “It was a good day and a really good experience. I thought I would give it a go and it paid off.

“I have trained since I was a kid and I go to the gym every single morning.

“My diet is clean too and I eat chicken, steak and fish.

“What I eat includes plenty of carbohydrates and macro nutrients.”

John, who did a business degree at Edge Hill University, currently works at Debenhams in Liverpool.

He said his aim is to be a personal trainer and he would like to help promote a healthy lifestyle.

Sue Rankin, the mother of John's girlfriend, commented: “John follows a completely self-taught regime and is against the use of steroids and enhancement drugs.

“I would like John to be recognised for his achievements, as he believes in inspiring young people that through commitment and dedication you can achieve your goals.

“I feel this story is particularly relevant due to the health risks associated with an increasing number of young men taking steroids.

“I recently read an article from a mother wanting to raise awareness of the dangers of steroid use.

Sadly, her son had been affected by this.

“John’s countless 5am starts, extensive research into the right foods and sticking to a strict regime shows that anyone can get results naturally, if they put their mind to it.”

Report by Jim Sharpe THE bells of St Andrew’s Parish Church in Maghull rang out last Thursday evening, to mark 100 years to the day since the eightbell set was first dedicated.

The chime was played by Trevor Workman, carillonneur of the Bourneville Carrilon, which was appropriate since the chimes were first played by his predecessor, Harry Withers, back in May 1918.

The bells were rededicated by Rector of Maghull and Melling CE Churches, the Rev Janice Hill, and Trevor played a selection of religious music, finishing with ‘Toccata for eight-bell Chime of St Andrew’s

A MAN from Bootle has been jailed for historic rape and sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl in 2003.

Esupur Rahman, 33, of Stanley Road, was sentenced to three and a half years at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, May 16.

The offence took place in Waterloo, after a 21-year-old Rahman had groomed the victim, who was 15 at the time, for several months.

Detective Inspector Susan Ennis said: “This was an appalling abuse of trust by a man who was 21 at the time of the offence, and had groomed his underage victim over a long period of time.

“His victim has shown an immense amount of bravery to speak to police, and has been supported throughout her ordeal.

“Hopefully the sentence of Rahman helps her healing process in some way.

“Time is no barrier to justice for sexual offences, so I want to encourage any victim of sexual offences to come forward to Merseyside Police, where specialist officers will treat you with sensitivity and compassion.

Sarah McKenna and friends at Maghull’s hand made wedding stationery shop The Paper Doll.

Closure is not on cards for stationary shop!

Report by Jim Sharpe

IT'S the law of unexpected consequences - and in this case from the start it must be made clear that ‘The Paper Doll’, a shop in Treeview Court on Station Road, Maghull, is NOT closing down!

In fact the wedding stationary shop - twice winner of the Christmas 'Best Dressed Window' competition - is very much on the up and up as owner Sarah McKenna is keen to point out.

The rumour spread after someone noticed a box of ‘rubbish’ on the pavement outside and obvious signs of changes within - and put the imminent demise of ‘The Paper Doll’ on a local community Facebook site!

The facts though are far different.

Sarah, who employs five staff had the idea that instead of simply throwing out off-cuts of coloured card, perhaps they may be of use to local people and put a box of them outside the shop inviting folk to help themselves.

And the idea certainly caught on, with young mums taking card for their kiddies to use, older people too have latched on to the idea, and staff from nearby Summerhill School realised the card was just the job for their pupils making cards for the Royal Wedding!

Indeed, so successful has this ‘giveaway ’ been that Sarah says she will repeat the scheme whenever her stock of coloured card remnants builds up.

“It has really proved a very popular method of recycling!” she said.

“To be given no reason after 40 great, successful years is disappointing, and disrespectful, we feel at the very least we are owed a reason why.”

Mr Rigby further drew attention to a 2016 report to Sefton Council which highlighted shortfalls in the quality and quantity of grass football pitches across the borough and recommended ways to address the deficiencies including the better use of school sites.

After receiving no reply to the letter, Brian’s assistant Bob, who is also welfare officer for the club, contacted the Champion Bob Doherty (left) and Brian Rigby are concerned for the and the paper got in touch with future of St Thomas Lydiate Leopards JFC. the school. and wish them well for the future.”

Ten-year lease agreed with Sefton for transfer

Future of M&S Aintree store uncertain after company announces closures MARKS and Spencer has announced it is to close 100 stores in the next four years as part of ‘vital’ reorganisation plans, but it is not known if the Aintree store will be one of them.

As part of an ongoing revamp started in November 2016, the national chain wants to move a third of its sales online, and plans to have fewer, larger clothing and home-

ware stores in better locations.

A list of 14 stores has been revealed this week, adding to the 21 that have already been shut – and this does not include the Aintree store.

A spokesperson for Marks and Spencers told the Champion that no list had yet been drawn up for all of the 100 stores that will be shut.

Report by Jim Sharpe TWO parks in Maghull will now be run by the town council after several years being managed by Sefton Council.

Old Hall Park off Hall Lane, and Bobby's Wood at the Liverpool Road South/Northway junction are back under the control of Maghull Town Council after it reached an agreement to have them transferred under a 10-year lease.

Maghull Town Council contracts manager Alex Spencer, said: “The transfer of Old Hall Park and Bobby's Wood means that we now have responsibility for the maintenance of all public parks and open spaces within the town.

“Residents and visitors to Maghull are accustomed to my officers maintaining the parks to an exceptionally high standard - and that standard will be applied to our newly acquired sites.”

Parkhaven flood fear for nearby homes after drainage error on plans Report by Kenny Parker RESIDENTS living near to the housing development at the Parkhaven Trust site in Maghull claim there is a danger that water could flood into their gardens as the new properties are set to be built one metre higher than theirs.

Redrow Homes were granted planning permission to build 57 homes for the Dover Meadows development at Green Lane in May, 2017.

The council admitted the error in the planning (Lancashire), said: “It is always our aim to build document but reassured residents that they were responsibly and all work is being completed in accordance with the planning consent for the site. otherwise confident in Redrow’s drainage plans.

Former pub could finally be torn down A DERELICT pub in Netherton could finally be torn down and replaced with houses after years of uncertainty surrounding the future of the well-known building.

Last week, Sefton Council received a planning application from One Vision Housing (OVH) to tear down

the closed-down Cabbage Inn, on Fleetwoods Lane, and replace it with six houses and a block of 24 flats.

They will also use land next to the pub to build the new properties, which would be in a prominent location on the corner of the busy junction of Fleetwoods Lane

and Gorsey Lane.

Ever since the pub closed, it has been at the centre of controversy with a number of planning applications causing anger for local residents.

The latest plan to turn it into houses could be decided

by Sefton Council in the next few weeks.

Owner left two bulldogs in garden when he went for a day at Alton Towers

By Lynda Roughley

Luxury Kitchens at an affordable price.

Dogs which attacked pensioner and her pet to be destroyed

TWO American bulldogs attacked a retired woman and her pet spaniel in Waterloo after their owner had swanned off to Alton Towers theme park for the day.

Michael Porter had left his two pets in his front garden with just one bolt on the gate - despite having previously been warned by a dog warden that that was insufficient.

And his actions have now cost the lives of his dogs, Polly and her son Pablo, as a judge ordered their destruction and Porter, 34, has been given a suspended prison sentence.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that Margaret Thompson, who is retired, was walking her dog Jess along St John’s Road in Waterloo at 9.30am on April 10 last year when the two bulldogs ran across the road from their home and set on them.

Mrs Thompson flung herself on her pet to protect her and the animal only suffered minor injuries but Mrs Thompson, who was luckily wearing a thick coat, suffered two puncture wounds to her arm She was dragged on the ground and suffered heavy bruising to her arms and shoulder, said Zillah Williams, prosecuting.

Porter, now of Warbreck Road, Orrell Park, denied two offences of possessing dogs which caused injury while dangerously out of control in a public place but was convicted after a trial.

The judge, Recorder David Swinnerton, told Porter that dog owners have great responsibility.

He said: “In my view you have not been looking after yourself properly and I don’t think you are in a proper position to look after dogs.”

He said he himself is a dog owner and it gave him “no pleasure” to order the destruction of the dogs, who have been in police kennels since September.

The destruction order was mandatory unless it could be shown they did not cause danger to the public.

At the time of the incident Porter had a 15 month suspended sentence hanging over him for drunkenly making racist remarks while on a train home from London - where just hours earlier he had been fined by magistrates for a similar offence.

Recorder Swinnerton said that as Porter had been making good progress while supervised under the

Michael Porter.

suspended sentence order he would not activate the sentence.

He imposed ten months imprisonment for the latest offences but suspended it for 18 months.

He also ordered him to carry out 10 days rehabilitation activities and imposed a three month curfew with a tag between 8 - 9 pm.

The judge said that Mrs Thomson was badly shaken by the attack and still shaking three days later and needed tranquilisers from her GP. He said he accepted Porter had a high fence and three bolts on the gate with a warning sign ’beware guard dogs’ which was fine while he was at home but only the top bolt was on when he was out risking someone calling at the house leaving it off or the dogs knocking it open.

Philip Clemo, defending, said that Porter, who has committed 26 previous offences, has mental health issues but has been responding well to the supervision order from his last offence and completed the alcohol treatment programme despite finding it difficult.

SOUTH Sefton residents celebrated the Royal Wedding last Saturday by holding street parties and raising money for charity.

There were a handful of roads in the borough which were closed off as locals enjoyed a sunny afternoon celebrating the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

One such event was held on Edgemoor Drive, in Thornton, which residents say was a huge success and they also managed to raise nearly ÂŁ650 for charity.

Sefton Council revealed they only received a small

number requests for street parties in south Sefton, which included Thornfield Road, in Thornton; Park View, in Waterloo; Princes Avenue and Seafield Avenue, in Crosby; Elm Road, in Seaforth; and Exeter Road, Leicester Road and Menai Road, in Bootle.

The drop in the number of street parties, compared to when Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011, doesn’t seem to be restricted to just Sefton.

There were just two registered street parties last Saturday in Liverpool, and more strikingly only one in the entire of Scotland.

Protesters walk through Rimrose Valley Country Park

Hundreds march against road plan for Rimrose Valley Report by Tom Martin HUNDREDS of protesters marched through Rimrose Valley Country Park in a first ever public march against Highways England and their plans to build a road through the park.

It took place on Sunday, May 20, and organisers say they were stunned by the turn-out which saw locals arrive in droves, many holding placards and signs.

Those in the protest ranged from young children to pensioners and they walked the length of the park in protest against a plan by Highways England to build a dual carriageway through the park to create a link road between the dock and Switch Island.

Isaac is one step closer to his ballet dream

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com l 15

Kennan Doyle Solicitors

Report by Tom Martin

Michael William Kennan, Solicitor

A YOUNGSTER from Waterloo is one step closer to his dream after gaining a place at the prestigious National Youth Ballet of Great Britain.

Isaac Morgan, who is only nine years old, has been fundraising to earn a right to apply for the lucrative placement and together with his talent he was delighted to find out recently he had been accepted.

It will now see Isaac attend the prestigious Elm Hurst Ballet school of dance in Birmingham as a boarder for ten days, which will give him an insight into life at a full time ballet school.

His proud mum Gaynor told the Champion: “The past few months we have been busy fundraising in anticipation on Isaac getting a place on the National Youth Ballet of Great Britain and to enable him to continue on his ballet journey.

“The prestigious Elm Hurst Ballet school of dance will give him an insight into life at full time ballet school, with all the challenges and hard work he will have to face at such a tender young age of nine.

“Following this, Isaac will perform three shows at the Crescent Theatre Birmingham and a Gala evening performance at Sadler’s Wells, in London.

“I have been relentless in fundraising to allow Isaac to get a step closer in achieving his dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer.

“We have been overwhelmed by the support of everyone. I firmly believe Isaac will achieve his dream, with a little help from his friends. May the journey and chapters keep unfolding by Isaac dancing all the way to the top! We are so very proud of him.”

Isaac is currently a pupil at Crosby-based Proctor Dance Academy, run by Lorna Hughes, and he also travels three times a month to Manchester as a pupil with The Royal Ballet Association Programme.

LETTERS to the Editor

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA tel 01704 392 400 email editor@champnews.com

Primary school children should not be encouraged to attend military camps I was horrified to discover how the military establishment are deviously infiltrating our publicly funded local educational establishments.

Hugh Baird College in Bootle have courses on Military Preparation and ‘Public Uniformed Services’ while leaflets are being put though doors in Crosby, aimed at primary school children, from The UK Military School to attend a military camp “working with real soldiers from the British Army.”

The UK is the only country in Europe that still recruits 16 year olds into the armed forces sometimes starting the process at 15.

Over three quarters of the public are in support of raising the recruitment age to 18 but most politicians are more concerned about recruitment targets than damaging the poorer and psychological vulnerable youth in our society.

Three children in every classroom have a mental health condition.

Many suffer from bullying in the classroom and social media and suffer stress in their target driven schoolwork and exams.

Suicide is the biggest killer of males aged between five and 19 and most adult mental health problems originate before the age of 14.

Sefton’s suicide rate has almost doubled since 2007,with a recent increase among children and young people in particular.

The sanitised version of military recruitment does not mention the brutality of training, the risk to body and mind, the basic education compared to local colleges and bullying both physical and sexual being more common than civilian life.

Liverpool has a nine month waiting list for children with mental health problems while the government has cut these services and not considered them as a priority.

Surely early intervention prevents problems

later in life as well as saving NHS money.

In contrast, the government have managed to pledge large amounts of funding for the Cadet Expansion Scheme as part of their promotion of the ‘military ethos’ in schools.

The armed forces and industry are putting significant resources into science, technology, engineering and maths in schools and colleges.

The government say they are prioritising mental health but it seems the reality is that macho and military values are more important than creating a peaceful, stress free, nurturing, socially responsible and empowering environment for our children.

That is what real education is about.

Pupils at Crawford Primary School in Up Holland await the arrival of two classmates who took part in their own ‘royal wedding.’ Picture by Martyn Snape.

£135,000 will pay for Thanks for help with five police officers war memorial upkeep My letter that you published in last week’s Champion (PCC’s salary could pay for five police officers) makes no sense due to the fact that you changed the wording.

The £135,000 referred to is nothing to do with Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner Jane Kennedy ’s salary.

She is asking members of the public to apply for some of this pot of money to prevent crime in their area.

The point I was making is that this would pay for five police officers to do this for us for 12 months, which is how it should be.

As a member of the small group of volunteers who maintain the war memorial roundabout in Hightown and have reinstated hanging baskets, I would like to mention with thanks the support we have received from contractors Peter Grayson Ltd and individuals of Sefton Council, Eric Rutledge, Martin Sutcliffe and ‘Dennis.’

I am sorry but in this day and age we don’t get much support from Sefton Council and these individuals have really made it easy to get on with what we are doing and that is maintaining the appearance of our village.

Call the police if you see birds being shot I was appalled to read the letter regarding birds being shot near the canal in Melling.

My advice to anyone who sees incidents of shooting of wildlife should be reported to police, preferably at the time they occur or afterwards.

Otherwise police are unaware of such horrific incidents.

My experience is that they respond to such incidents.

If you see anyone with a air gun/air rifle etc, when it is safe to do so, dial 999 and report the incident.

You can make an anonymous call.

Never challenge anyone with any type of firearm.

Leave the shooters to be dealt with by the police and the courts.

Sign up to the British Red Cross THE British Red Cross responds to an emergency every four hours in the UK - from fires, extreme weather and flooding, to national emergencies including acts of terror.

However, it’s not just emergency services and the government that can help in these response efforts.

According to a new report published by the British Red Cross and Aviva, the large majority of people (85%) say that if an emergency happened in their community they would want to get involved, yet more than half (60%) of people would not know what to do if a disaster struck.

In partnership with Aviva, we are calling on people to sign up to a new scheme called community reserve volunteers, to help create a national network of 10,000 people ready to help in a local emergency.

Last year we faced an unprecedented number of major emergencies including in London and Manchester.

These incidents brought tragedy to so many people, but we also saw remarkable acts of kindness, as people and businesses rallied to help in any way they could. We saw that people want to help those in crisis.

Everyone has a role to play when disaster strikes, even the smallest act of kindness can make a huge difference.

It’s quick and easy to sign up online, you don’t need specialist skills and we need your help now more than ever.

Open all roads to be fair to everyone I would like to agree with everything ‘concerned resident’ said in the letter about the closure of certain roads such as Edgemoor Drive, in the borough.

We all pay our taxes.

Would those people object to paying more taxes to keep there roads closed?

I don’t think so.

Maybe the roads which are open should pay less.

Don’t be selfish.

We would all like to live in a lovely quiet road but today’s traffic does not allow that.

Open all roads, give us all a chance.

WINDOWS & DOORS • COMPOSITE DOORS • BI-FOLDING DOORS says local MP UPVC FRENCH DOORS • CONSERVATORIES • SOFFITS & FASCIAS • PORCHES Part of the Wilson Autobodies Group

Report by Danielle Thompson LOCAL MP and shadow business secretary Bill Esterson is calling for changes to be made in the way small firms are paid after the collapse of Carillion.

Up to 30,000 businesses across the country could lose a total of £2billion after the Carillion’s collapse, including many in the Merseyside area that were involved in the building of the new Royal Liverpool Hospital,.

The work on the £335million hospital stalled in February, when it was around 90% complete, after Carillion went bust with debts of around £1.5bn.

Bill Esterson MP says it is unacceptable to have payment terms of 180 days, which Carillion forced on subcontractors and suppliers.

He says 30 days should be the maximum amount of time a business should expect to wait to be paid when working on a government contract.

He said that while payment terms of 30 days is currently government policy, this wasn’t being enforced.

Mr Esterson added: “Many small businesses have been left high and dry.

“Last month, an engineering contractor, Vaughan, which has an office in Warrington, went into administration after it was was owed hundreds of thousands of pounds by Carillion.

“The government should enforce the 30 day payment rule and also include late payment as a category of ‘risky behaviour ’ in public contracts, which would allow the government to remove contracts from the offending companies.

“They should also introduce a system of binding arbitration and fine for per-

sistent late payments, similar to the approach taken in Australia.”

He added that there were other ways to look after smaller firms in construction such as Project Bank Accounts which are already used by Highways England and in the devolved administrations in the UK. They ensure payment on time and also give protection in insolvencies like that of Carillion as contract monies are paid into a trust rather than to the main contractor.

Mr Esterson said PBAs would also help small building firms deal with cash retentions.

Retentions are a proportion of a contract payment, typically 5% or 10% withheld to ensure minor defects are corrected by sub-contractors.

The MP said that in the construction industry, retentions are “little more than a way to help the cashflow of larger firms at the expense of smaller suppliers.”

He added: “This was described to me by my constituent, Steve Murray, who runs a highways lighting contractor.

“Steve showed me files going back several years, where he has not been paid retentions.

“And of course if the main contractor goes bust, the retentions are lost just like any other outstanding debt.

“If everything is paid through Project Bank Accounts, retentions, like other payments can be held in trust and paid in a timely fashion.

“Late payment, retention abuse, lack of protections for unsecured creditors upon insolvency are all major problems, highlighted by Carillion’s failure.

“It is time to introduce a fairer contracting system and to replace the reckless speculation which blights the way that public construction contracts have been run.”

A PRIMARY school girl and her classmates have raised an impressive £650 for the hospital that looked after her late father.

As recently reported in the Champion, Chloe Wyatt, 8, who lives in Maghull and is a Year 4 pupil at St John Bosco Catholic Primary School, organised a raffle with the help of her motherand grandad to collect funds for Aintree Hospital’s Critical Care Unit.

The hospital had looked after her dad John, who passed away late last year from cardiac problems.

He was a great Liverpool FC fan and Chloe and her sister Libby would often go to matches with him.

Attending the cheque presentation were two nurses from the unit and new parish priest Father Grant Maddock.

Head teacher Danny MacAreavy said: “The Critical Care Unit were most grateful and thanked the children for their fantastic effort.

“We are all extremely proud of Chloe andher mum and grandad and know that this donation will go towards helping others like Chloe's dad.

“As a Liverpool season ticket holder we can only hope that he is as excited about the Champions League final up there as we are down here!”

A CCTV image of a man police want to speak to.

CCTV pic released over salon robbery Report by Tom Martin CCTV footage has been released of a man wanted by police in connection to a terrifying robbery at a tanning salon in north Liverpool when staff were threatened with a knife.

At around 9.15pm on March 9, a man entered Indigo Sun, on Longmoor Lane, Fazakerley, and demanded money while threatening staff with the weapon and he escaped with a quantity of cash.

The staff members were not injured but were left distressed.

Detective Inspector Paul Speight said: “We are keen to speak with the man pictured to assist us in our enquiries. The staff were thankfully unhurt but understandably very distressed to be threatened with a knife.

“I would appeal to anyone who knows who this man is, or any witnesses who would have been in the vicinity of Indigo Sun at around 9.20pm on March 9 who saw anything suspicious to get in touch.

“Any piece of information, however small, may be vital for our investigation.

“I want to assure all residents and businesses that we will do everything possible to identify the offender and bring him to justice, and ensure Fazakerley continues to be a safe place to live, work and visit.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident number 18200052784.

I loved a day at the seaside - except for scary Popeye!

I WAS reminded of my childhood a couple of Sundays ago when I decided on a bus ride from my Maghull fastness to Southport to do a little shopping.

It was a lovely summer-like day - shirtsleeve weather - and most unusually for a Sunday the bus was fully loaded, presumably with day-trippers, by the time it left Lydiate.

And interestingly in this age of the almost universal motorcar, not all were persons of a certain age (such as I), but families too.

In short, just like in the days of my childhood, a weekend bus to Southport was full of folk.

Anyway, it got me thinking. It was good that so many people should choose the travel by bus to the seaside.

Mind you, back in the day it wouldn't have been ‘the’ bus.

Usually, around lunchtime (which it was) there was the 302 service (now the 300, but back then the 300 operated only about twice a day via Shirdley Hill, while the 302 more or less followed the main road route) - which normally swept past our stop in Maghull, full and standing.

No worries though - there was always a duplicate behind it, and sometimes two.

Now so far as my brother George and I were concerned, going to Southport meant really only two things - the funfair, and if the weather was really clement, the outdoor swimming baths.

Oh, and of course, a trip on the miniature railway to a place called Peter Pan's Playground, a place only really of interest to very little kids, but happily next door to the back entrance to the funfair proper and therefore ‘a good thing.’ Actually, the walk from the bus to the Pleasure Beach included having to pass what was one of humiliation for me - and something I was not allowed to forget for many, many years.

Outside what was either, I think, an amusement arcade or a cafe, there was a lifesize dummy of Popeye.

An abhorrence which swayed drunkenly from side to side, the while uttering a crazy laugh, if you could call it that.

The thing was terrifying to a baby (which of course I was when I first encountered this horror), or at any rate terrifying to this one, and my reluctance to pass this effigy lasted for several years - possibly until I was old enough to appreciate the Popeye cartoons and love the character.

Too late though to allow me to forget - my younger brother George made sure of that - but then, my parents had taken care to prepare him for the gruesome sailor man.

What, I wonder, happened to poor old Popeye - he probably gave amusement to many youngsters in his time.

Anyway, my early memories of Southport are all of the funfair (and George and I had our regular 'route' through the rides, starting at the 'Caterpillar' and finishing with the Ghost Train and the River Caves.

Plus the seemingly long and dusty way back to the bus which was usually less crowded than the outward journey - probably because there was a greater choice of departure times - and remember, back then you could catch a bus home until very late in the evening, meaning that older folk could stay for a show, or a meal, or a few drinks in a pub.

Thinking along these lines, I realise that the private car, though it has brought far more choice as to when you go or return, also rather limits what you can do too.

After all, a few alcoholic drinks are out so that more or less rules out the pub and possibly spoils the meal as well. Swings and roundabouts I suppose.

On this recent Sunday I contented myself with visits to a cut-price book shop, a supermarket, a ‘pound’ shop and WH Smith.

Pleasant enough - but not that much fun.

Council has £500,000 to support vulnerable

12 MONTH SEASON

NO FEES UNTIL

2019

Report by Tom Martin HALF a million pounds will be made available for the borough’s most vulnerable people through Sefton Council's welfare support scheme.

The local authority has vowed to use a £500,000 fund to provide support for vulnerable, low-income families hit by unexpected financial crises, domestic emergencies and the impact of welfare reform.

This funding will be monitored closely and may be re-evaluated if the demand for services exceeds the current budget.

Financial resources will also be used to support Sefton’s helping hand service which manages the provision of essential household items.

South Sefton and Southport foodbanks will also benefit from a tranche of the funding which will help the services to maintain the necessary levels of food and other items in response to referrals from the council’s local welfare scheme.

In addition, a significant portion of the budget will help to support the provision of gas and electricity awards to applicants.

Without this funding, many people across Sefton would not have access to vital hardship support, forcing them to go without or faced with no option but to take out high cost loans to pay for basics such as food, energy or furniture.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “It’s telling that due to the Government’s austerity measures we are seeing an increase in residents who need additional welfare support. It is clear that food bank usage is growing and more and more people, including those who are in work, are finding it difficult to support themselves as a result of welfare reform.

“The council has rightly set aside a significant budget to help keep essential welfare services running, but the hard truth is that even this extra financial support may not be enough for these vital

services to meet the increased demand.”

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for communities, added: “It is a shame that in 2018 we are still seeing so many Sefton residents who are finding themselves impacted by welfare reform and facing poverty.

“Government cuts have meant that services that provide support to vulnerable people are finding themselves at breaking point and local charities are finding it increasingly difficult to cope and offer support.

“It is so important for the council to ensure that its local communities are able to receive the support they need when they are experiencing severe financial hardship. We are doing all we can when sadly we know more needs to be done.”

Support service launched for LGBTQI victims of hate crime Report by Danielle Thompson A SERVICE offering dedicated support for members of the LGBTQI community who have been affected by hate crime has been launched.

The new support service, which will be delivered by Citizens’ Advice Liverpool, will provide victims of LGBTQI hate crime with emotional support, practical assistance and help to cope and recover from a crime to move forward with their lives.

It was revealed by Deputy Police Commissioner Cllr Emily Spurrell as part of the Commissioner’s Victim Care Merseyside service.

LGBTQI stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Intersex.

Cllr Spurrell said: “Crimes motivated by hate can have long-lasting and devastating repercussions on the lives of those who are targeted.

“We also know victims can be particularly vulnerable and may feel isolated or excluded. They need and deserve specialist support which is tailored to their specific needs and which respects their identity.

“That’s why, through Victim Care Merseyside, we have created specialist services dedicated to supporting victims affected by different strands of

hate crime.”

The service is part of the wider package of support for victims of crime created by the region’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, and delivered through Victim Care Merseyside.

It also includes a dedicated support service for victims of racial hate crime delivered by the Anthony Walker Foundation and a service for victims of disability hate crime provided by Daisy UK. Heather Brent, chief officer of Citizens Advice Liverpool said: “Citizens Advice Liverpool welcome the opportunity to be part of this initiative supporting members of the LGB&T community who have been victims of hate crime and targeted simply because of their sexuality or gender identity.

“We have a long tradition of opposing all forms of discrimination including hate crimes.

“We will work with the LGB&T community and individuals to develop a service fit for purpose through co-production and ensure that our role in this partnership helps victims of crime to improve their health and wellbeing through practical and social support.”

The new LGBTQI support service can be contacted by emailing lgbthatecrime@caliverpool.org.uk or calling 0344 848 7700.

“I had no expectation of getting into the final ten so it was amazing when I found out. When they make their decision they also base it onpast achievements.�

Perhaps this is what swung it in favour of Eva, as she has some impressive achievements so far.

Currently, Eva is developing a humanitarian aid drone for MSF and is in the Arion Team which aims to break the humanpowered land speed record in Nevada, in 2019.

MSF stands for MÊdecins Sans Frontières, also known in English as Doctors Without Borders, and is an international humanitarian medical non-governmental organisation best known for its projects in conflict zones and in countries affected by endemic diseases.

Furthermore, Eva is developing enhancement projects to improve study abroad opportunities as a course representative.

In 2017, Eva received the Frederic Barnes Mechanical Engineering Prize and the Liverpool Excellence Scholarship for her academic achievements and has

New Green Sefton team to hold mass clean-up launch

{

THE newly-created Green Sefton team will be holding a mass clean-up of waterways, canals and coastal areas to mark World Oceans Day next month.

Green Sefton brings together Coast and Countryside, Parks and Greenspaces, Flooding and Coastal Erosion, Risk Management and Grounds Maintenance teams together to ensure a joined-up approach to the vital management, development and oversight of Sefton’s coastline, parks and green spaces.

To celebrate the launch of the initiative, team members will be taking part in a mass clean-up at Crosby Coastal Park from 11am on World Ocean Day, on June 8.

Residents and groups who are keen to learn more about Green Sefton have the chance to meet with key members of the team, who will explain the work they will do, from land management and community engagement to vital work surveying the changing shape of Sefton’s coast and what this means to residents and visitors.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for Health and Wellbeing, said: “Sefton is a clean, green and beautiful borough that is internationally recognised for its natural beauty and we will build on this through the work of Green Sefton.

“Green Sefton has been created to make sure we continue our focus on a collaborative approach to the management, development and oversight of our beautiful coastline, parks and green spaces.

“We believe this will also encourage more com-

Green Sefton will manage, develop and oversee Sefton’s coastline, including Crosby Beach

munity cohesion, more involvement with our volunteers and residents, as well as eco organisations.

“This event is a fantastic opportunity for people to learn more about the wonderful work Green Sefton will be doing.

“We want Sefton residents to take pride in their community and make a positive contribution to their environment and the launch is also a great way to find out more about how you can get involved in community events and volunteering.”

Pupils across Maghull urged to come up with name for public artwork

The group with the statue outside Maghull Town Hall

Report by Jim Sharpe MAGHULL’S Town Council is hoping that one of the pupils from a local primary school can come up with a fantastic name for the town's first piece of public art.

The Council has commissioned a sculpture to both commemorate and celebrate the pioneering work of Moss Side Hospital and pay tribute to those who suffered shellshock.

As yet the artwork, a wounded soldier being supported by a nurse doesn't have a name - so now the Council is launching a competition to bring the statue to life with an apt title.

The artist, Andy Edwards, will be creating the figure in bronze and is to visit local schools, including Green Park, Northway and St John Bosco primary schools, talking about the process of creating the statue and his inspiration for the work.

He said: “I want to engage as many young people as possible in this project. It is a community effort driven by volunteers on the steering group and we want to involve local schools in this important heritage project. Naming the statue is a great way to encourage young people to reflect on what we are trying to achieve.”

Town Council Leader, Councillor Patrick Mckinley, told the Champion: “Our project is moving on at a pace and if all goes according to plan we will hold a founding ceremony in November, with the winner of this competition playing a role in this. It is a major honour for the young person who comes up with the most appropriate name for the memorial.

“This project is a truly collective enterprise driven by the steering group volunteers which has been working on this since October last year, securing funding, agreeing the design, appointing the sculptor and finding an appropriate site.”

Deputy Council Leader, Councillor John Sayers, said: “It has been no mean feat to get this far when it has been driven by volunteers with Town Council support. We also thank Merseytravel and Merseyrail who stepped up to the plate with help.”

The competition is open to primary school children in the Maghull, Lydiate and Melling.

They can enter by sending their suggestion to Maghull Town Council via the Maghull Town Council app, one entry per pupil.

The winner will receive a cast of the statue and will be invited to assist in the unveiling in November.

The closing date is June 4 and the winner will be notified by July 6.

Contact Town Clerk Angela Macintyre at the Town Hall (0151 526 3705) for further details.

Tall Ships safety advice Report by Tom Martin VISITORS planning to watch the Tall Ships regatta from the Sefton coastline over the May bank holiday are being advised to stay safe at all times.

Anyone heading to Crosby beach on Monday, May 28 to watch the regatta is asked to stay within 50 metres from the promenade and watch for any tidal movement. Visitors to the coast are recommended not to go past Crosby Coastguard Station in a northerly direction.

On May 28, the seafront car parks will remain open but parking on nearby streets will be restricted (except for emergency vehicles).

The Waterloo Festival, being held at the bottom of South Road/Crosby Lakeside, and pop up village at Burbo Bank are also taking place during the bank holiday weekend with extra people expected at Crosby seafront.

Anyone planning to travel to this area is asked to walk, cycle or use public transport as revised train and bus timetables will be in operation on the Bank Holiday.

Visitors should be prepared for all weather conditions - including rain or sunshine.

Concessions will be available and people visiting the area are asked to take their rubbish home with them or use the bins provided.

Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council's Labour Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Skills, said: “Safety is paramount on the Sefton coastline as this event takes place.

“If you’re local, consider staying local.

Walking or cycling may be the quickest and easiest way for you to get to and

from the event. The popular Waterloo Festival is also on during the bank holiday weekend with crowds expected to attend along with the pop up village at Burbo Bank.

“The council has really supported both these events and it is set to be a really busy weekend benefiting the whole area with local businesses using our wonder-

ful assets to the maximum. If you do watch the regatta pass from the Sefton coastline, please stay safe and leave the beach as you find it either by taking your rubbish home with you or using the bins provided.

“We also ask people to respect the local community as access to the beach is situated within a residential area."

Review by Henry James AFTER presenting Paint Your Wagon and A Clockwork Orange, the impressive Everyman company has revamped Shakespeare’s Othello.

The play centres around Iago (Patrick Brennan), who is furious because the younger Cassio (Cerith Flinn) has been promoted above him by Othello (Golda Rosheuvel).

He plots his revenge and plants the seed of doubt in Othello’s mind that Othello’s wife Desdemona (Emily Hughes) is having an affair with Cassio which has tragic consequences.

Of course there is no affair, and Iago’s claims are totally made up.

The show’s director, Gemma Bodinetz, compares these untruths to fake news and believes the play is as relevant today as it was when it was first written 400 years ago.

Brennan plays the part well and is good at putting across Iago’s cunning behaviour. The characters believe that Iago is “honest”, but don’t realise what he is really thinking and plotting until it is too late.

Bodinetz has decided to cast Othello as a woman and it works.

teristics well.

Hughes, who stood out as Jennifer Rumson in Paint Your Wagon, is equally as good as Desdemona.

Her love for Othello does not waver and she cannot understand why Othello is so annoyed with her.

This production, of one of Shakespeare’s most engaging plays,

is well staged and of particular note are the final dramatic scenes in Othello’s and Desdemona’s bed chamber.

The actors at the Liverpool venue have the audience on all four sides of them, but never do you feel that you are not involved in the action.

DEAR SACRED HEART OF JESUS

In the past I have asked for many favours.

This time I ask for one special favour. (mention it) Take it dear heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken heart where your Father sees it. Then, in his merciful eyes, it will become your favour, not mine.

Amen.

Say this prayer for three days, promise publication and your favour will be granted.

Never to be failed.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN Never known to fail.

O most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, faithful Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this necessity, O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother, O Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succour me in my necessity.

(Make Request).

There are none that can withstand your powers. Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 Times).

Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3 times).

Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine.

This prayer must be said for three days and after that the request will be granted and the prayer must be published.

Porsche is the only supercar maker everyone can afford to dabble in...

PORSCHE is, I’ve long reckoned, is the only supercar maker that just about everyone can afford to dabble in.

The days of 944s for under a grand and air-cooled 911s for Mondeo money might be long gone but you can easily pick up an early Boxster for less than the price of a secondhand Astra – try doing that with Ferrari or McLaren. I was at a huge Porsche event over in Llandudno and that’s definitely the vibe I picked up from the people taking part.

Sure, there were managing directors flying the flag in brand new Caymans, but there were also plenty of petrolheads who just love their cars, even without the enormous budget, and were just as happy to be there.

Except for one chap, who I can only assume was a member of the public who’d got lost. “I dunno, I don’t get what all the fuss is”, he seethed to his other half as he glanced over 650 of Stuttgart’s sports cars, proudly lined up along a North Wales promenade.

“They ’re just cars, aren’t they? A means to an end.

As long as it’s got a tow bar for my trailer and starts up in the morning, I don’t give a fig”.

Only that last word was something else beginning with ‘F’, of course.

For a moment I thought I’d overhead someone who sees cars the way I see football – but then for all the moments I can feel my eyes glazing over every time I hear the transfer window being discussed loudly in a pub, I can at least look back at all the few times I’ve been to see Southport play and ended up cheering them on.

This bloke, on the other hand, had no time for cars whatsoever.

His loss, especially when you bear in mind that you don’t have to have a Porsche and that motoring fun can be had in just about any form at every budget, taking virtually no effort to attain.

A secondhand Mondeo can be picked up for a few hundred quid and they can be very sprightly through the bends. Gently expand your used car

May Bank Holiday

DEADLINES The deadline for Private Advertisers for publication on Wednesday 30th May is as follows: Telephone Bookings 4pm - Friday 25th May Internet Bookings Midnight - Monday 28th May Visit www.champnews.com for further details

You don't need a 911-sized budget to make motoring fun

budget and the Golf GTI is your oyster. A mate of mine bought a Renault Sport Megane not long ago – 225bhp and finely honed French suspension for just four grand.

Still not convinced? You could snap up a secondhand Land Rover Discovery and have all the space

and countryside chic you could ever ask for, or match family practicality with a healthy dose of Broad prowesss with a 5-Series that’s barely in.

Even the most sensible family car I can think of, the Skoda Octavia, can be had in smile-inducing vRS form from about £2000 upwards.

Victory hopes snatched away from Maghull by Trinity’s last wicket pair NOT the first time season Maghull endured a nail-biting finish to their match at Southport Trinity on Saturday, writes Glenn Wallworth.

But unfortunately they were on the wrong end of the result as the last pair for Trinity put on 14 runs to reach their winning target to snatch away Maghull’s victory hopes.

Maghull chose to bat first and were soon in trouble as Australian Luke Falkiner reduced them to 143.

Skipper Paul Walters 51 and Australian Josh Mahoney 46 then

steadied proceedings.

But then Falkiner was reintroduced into the attack and his 6-32 added to Tony Campbell’s 3-57 helped bowl out Maghull for 176.

In reply, James Stanley took the first five wickets to fall as Trinity slipped to 35-5.

Wim van der Walt 44 and Eddie James 49 then put the hosts back in the match, Liam Simms then weighed in with 25 before being bowled by Stanley with the score on 163-9.

The last pair of Michael Roberti 15* and skipper Geoff Thornton 6* then held their nerve to guide the

hosts to what seemed at one point an unlikely victory on 177-9, with Stanley taking 6-45.

Hightown St Mary’s sit one place off the foot of the Second Division table after a two wicket defeat at Parkfield Liscard, batting first the visitors were dismissed for just 75 with Muhammad Zeb unbeaten on 18*, whilst Muhammed Nazim took 7-43.

In reply, the hosts struggled to 438 before Barrie White 18* and Nazim 11* took them to victory on 76-8, with Jayden Schadendorf 316 and Jack Cosgrove 3-37 taking most of the wickets to fall.

Nine wickets claimed by spinner Sephton as Northern beat Leigh NORTHERN sit just three points behind the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition Premier Division leaders after a 55 run home win against Leigh, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Choosing to bat first, Northern declared their innings on 169-9, with Chris Laker 45 and Justin Snow 30 top scoring, with Toby Bulcock taking 7-48.

In reply, Tom Sephton spun his way to all but one of the

wickets to fall with a superb 9-60 as the visitors were dismissed for 114, with Ben Smith unbeaten on 47*.

Formby top the table after continuing their fine start with a 153 run home win over Rainhill.

The hosts were asked to bat and responded by putting 238-5 dec up on the board, thanks in the main to a welcome return to form from Lancashire’s Haseeb Hameed who caressed an unbeaten

century (121 inc 16x4 & 1x6) and 57 from Australian Tim Smithies. In reply the visitors were dismissed for just 85, with Sabbir Patel spinning his way to a match clinching 6-18.

Ormskirk sit in fourth place after a 147 run win at New Brighton, after electing to bat the visitors piled up 248-5 dec, thanks to a fine century from John Armstrong (114 inc 15x4 & 2x6), 61 from Josh Bohannon and 45 from

Gary Knight. In reply, 6-14 from Tom Hartley and 3-32 from Alex Mason helped dismiss the hosts for 101 and seal victory for the defending champions.

Northern visit Ormskirk on Saturday. Other local fixtures: Lytham v Formby; Ainsdale v Orrell Red Triangle, Fleetwood Hesketh v Burscough, Southport & Birkdale v Liverpool, Hightown St Mary’s v Southport Trinity and Maghull v Spring View.

Linnets can hold their heads high after cup final heartache Burscough 1 Widnes 2 BURSCOUGH can hold their heads up proudly after their Macron Cup final loss against Widnes, writes Neil Leatherbarrow.

Held at Fleetwood Town’s Highbury Stadium last week, the record books will say that the Linnets lost 2-1 and the league tables will say that they went into the match as rank outsiders.

Widnes finished second in the North West Counties League Premier Division table and next season they will enter the Evo-Stik League, while Burscough finished 16 places and 46 points behind them in the table.

But Dave Sutton’s young Linnets team shocked their opponents by taking the lead in the ninth minute and although Widnes lev- Danny Brady on the ball for Burscough. elled on 22 minutes, Burscough continued to Picture by John Driscoll the Widnes crossbar and into the far corner of match them through to half-time.

Widnes grabbed the lead with only 12 the net. It was no fluke though as Clark has minutes to go and it looked all over, but scored before this season in similar fashion.

When Widnes levelled, it was with a rare Burscough responded with a series of attacking moves and were only denied by a attack. A corner was headed back across the miraculous performance by the Widnes goal- box and former Skelmersdale striker Ben keeper with a string a top drawer saves Hodkinson drove the ball home through a crowded goal-line. thwarting the Linnets.

It was close for the rest of the half and on 37 The Burscough goal had come from a corner when Jamie Clark swung the ball right under minutes Burscough went close via centre-for-

ward Chad Whyte, who has scored over 33 goals since joining the Linnets from Widnes in October, was thwarted by a full length save from Widnes goalkeeper Ritchie Mottram.

The game soon became stretched as both teams determinedly set about winning and it was quite a spectacle for the spectators.

What was to prove the Widnes winner came in the 78th minute.

Sam Sheen sent a cross into the Burscough goalmouth from the right and it was a poor one and no one connected with the ball at all, however it found its way into the far side of the goal and crept just inside the post.

Within two minutes Burscough were unlucky not to equalise, Josh Dunroe hit a shot from 20 yards that hit the foot of the post.

The rebound fell to Peter Henerty but this time Mottram made a brilliant point blank save to frustrate Burscough.

Burscough were desperately unlucky twice more before the end.

Just as five minutes added time was announced 19 year old Burscough captain Danny Brady went on a surging run, his shot on goal was going in until Mottram pulled off another diving save.

Then on 93 minutes Dunroe almost saved Burscough but again Mottram saved Widnes with a tremendous save.

Skelmersdale pull out of league due to lack of players SKELMERSDALE have pulled their first XI team out of the Liverpool Competition for this season due to a lack of players.

The team had been playing in the Second Division but have conceded their remaining games for the season.

The Champion reported earlier this year that officials at the club had launched a ‘use us or lose us’ appeal in a desperate bid to boost dwindling adult membership.

Skelmersdale Cricket Club has a proud history stretching back more than 125 years and moved to their current purpose built ground at Firswood Park in 2002.

The 2nd XI team will continue to play their fixtures.

Here to help

The club run five junior teams from under 9s to under 18s who play in the Southport & District Junior Cricket League.

The club also take part in the All Stars Cricket initiative in co-operation with the ECB_which is aimed at providing children aged 5 to 8 with a great first experience in cricket.

A club spokesman said the decision to withdraw the first XI from the Liverpool Competition was a “very sad day for the club” He added: “We have a great ground, great facilities, and all you could want as a player, but sadly no players.”

But he said: “We’ll come back stronger.”
